Wait, remind me why I care again? I don't. Why don't you prove otherwise seeing as you're the one claiming hearsay BS.

Prove it, should be simple.

EDIT: Real proof.  Not some hearsay BS.

You can keep linking to random things, but as we've already said several times, blades require 12V ONLY.

No, no it's not.  I haven't seen a schematic to verify that something isn't pulling right off the 12Vdc supply before de-regulation, but the theory that you cannot put more than 12Vdc is BS.  

Here's an arbitrary example:

http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/LA5744TP-TL-E/LA5744TP-TL-E-ND/2748200

Oh my, would you look at that.  Variable output up to ~1.23Vdc.  Oh man, looks like it would work great with a +12Vdc supply.  Wait a second.. is that what I think it is??  No frickin' way... IT WORKS AT +28Vdc input too!   How about that?!

You won't find it in the browser because your laptop is looking on the 'hot' network, where the blade ISN'T. I was trying something similar with Avalons because I was on a connection which needed signing in on.

If you disable wireless on the laptop, you should be able to connect to the blade. Then enable wireless and it *might* hash but you won't be able to get to the interface.

Wireless repeater with ethernet port?

Hey all, I am trying to get mine running and getting connectivity issues.

I am using a laptop with a wireless connection and its wired connection to the blade. I have set up internet connection sharing, but can't seem to find it using 192.168.1.254 in a browser.

In my network connections, I've been getting "limited or no connectivity" on it, but browsing is still working on the laptop.

It's a messy setup, but it's not feasible to connect right to the router unless I rewire my house (I planned to do this at some point so the router is exactly in the middle of my house but that's a while away)

Any ideas here? My laptop is running winXP btw. I can provide screenshots of anything if needed.

We've been told specifically we require 12v.

Actually, depending on the regulators used, the blades may very well be able to accept anything from 5v to 24v and still put 12v out on the other side for the blade to use, such parts do exist. I wouldn't like to try it myself without being told in the specs that it'll work though.

Its the equivalent of saying you can ram 10V through a processor - as long as the power delivery is the same. No, just no.

What do you know about electronics?  What's the P/N of the DC/DC Regulator?  You might very well be able to throw 24VDC at it.

It doesn't support DCHP, static IP only. Don't know about IPv6, probably not.

More info about the lack of hashing?

Is there a way to setup DHCP on the blade?

and does this blade support IPv6?

My DNS is an IPv6 address and it has a % in the address in the command prompt when I do ipconfig /all

Also my blade is 10.0.1.2 and not a 192 address

Having problems getting mine to hash ugh

Just finished trying out my first blade on the high clock settings.. running cool and stable averaging 13.2 GH after about a half hour now.

I decided to check how much the 12v source is drooping under load, and I found currently at the blade's inputs my meter is reading 11.24V, which may indicate my PSU is not quite strong enough, although it is a Corsair CX430 which should be plenty to power a single blade, and 4 120mm fans. Switching off my stratum proxy so the miner goes idle, I now see the main supply at 11.58V, which is also rather low in a very low load state.. The asic power lanes are currently all balanced at 1.186V under load.

I'm wondering if anyone else has measured the supply side for idle and load voltages? I didn't read all the posts in the thread, but via search and keyword checks on each page I couldn't find any further information.

I'm getting ready to head out and pickup a second PSU, as I doubt the 430 will be enough for two blades on high clocks.. it was stable running both in low clocks at factory voltage, but I didn't think to check the supply side with both running. I was going to get another of either the same model or slightly higher for the second blade, but now I'm wondering if I would be better off going with a single high power 750-800 watt unit to supply both blades.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks!

that is most likely some problem with your power supply. if you want people to help you need to provide more details, not just I changed settings and  it happens.

you need to weld 2 mm wires to those wires on your power supply and use those two wires to connect to blade. for example if you cut 6 wires 3 yellow and 3 black from PCIe connector. then make a two bundles of 3 wires in each and weld it to your 2 mm wires, which goes to blade. Also, normally I would not connect anything to blade without checking voltage first.

Cooling for blades running on high clock is important too. for two blades, two high speed 140mm fans will work fine, with blades placed vertically in small PVC pipes rack.

If it all fixed properly you will have no problem with running it continuously with no headache at all. My blades restarted last time 17 days ago.

hi
thanks for you reply
i have gone through the settings
and still no luck
i am quite technically capable but i feel like a village idiot at the moment as i cant get it working
could someone who has experience help me via teamviewer or anything like that
any help would be greatly appreciated

I assisted somebody with something very similar, here are links to my posts. Probably something here will be helpful for you:

-xover cable only if you are going from Router-to-switch or from blade-to-computer... so it sounds like a regular cable will do you - think of the blade the same as a computer in this regard.   Also to note: most switches/routers today do an auto-uplink (which means they detect and handle the cross-over so you can use a normal cable when you would in the past be required to use a xover)

Hi
i could do with some help my friends
I recently bought 3 blades from the group buy
they arrived last thursday and since then i have been ripping my hair out
They turn on and have all O's on the screen
But they dont seem to be hashing
I have attempted to set up as according to the guide in the forums
But soon as i change the settings all the 0's turn to x's and it wont connect
i have tried 5 different power supplys
using a xover cable direct to my router and through a switch
do i need to use a straight network cable?

how to autostart stratum proxy at headless raspbian?

I tried this:

# /etc/rc.local
# Stratum proxy autostart script
/home/pi/stratum/stratum-mining-proxy/mining_proxy.py -o pool-us.50btc.com -sp 3332 -gp 8334
/home/pi/stratum/stratum-mining-proxy/mining_proxy.py -o stratum.btcguild.com -sp 3330 -gp 8335
#


it doesnt work

if i just write in ssh  /home/pi/stratum/stratum-mining-proxy/mining_proxy.py -o pool-us.50btc.com -sp 3332 -gp 8334
and in another ssh terminal  /home/pi/stratum/stratum-mining-proxy/mining_proxy.py -o stratum.btcguild.com -sp 3330 -gp 8335

it works fine.

why? is my location wrong? is my syntax wrong?

NO. This is not how electronics work. Do not use anything but 12V.
